Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 20.00 to 30.00 higher despite the board closing sharply lower on both the Live and Feeder Cattle contracts. Yearlings were too lightly tested for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher. The majority of the supply consisted of short weaned or unweaned calves.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.73, low $362.24, median $424.07 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
